analyze that for us. guest: when people start coming -- when people start feeling more optimistic they are not coming into the labour market. even though we lost 85,000 jobs we did not get a higher unemployment rate because the job pool did not grow because people are still discouraged. sometimes people just think i will just shovel driveways for the winter. i don't feel like leaving the house. gasoline is so expensive, i don't want to go driving around looking for work. host: those factors actually affect the national economy? guest: it helps hold down the unemployment rate so we have a better looking number, but when you talk about how many millions of people are unemployed working short hours not getting bonuses, but it all together and it is a grim picture. it is an ongoing problem the administration has to address. nearly two years while it lost 16,000 more than the previously estimated in october. guest: in is back to what i said. these things can bounce around. so we thought that in november, if i'

political consultants are compared to use card salesman -- you -- a used car salesman. part of that is because we like to say that we decided this campaign issue when it was really what the public was thinking about and we are most often representing our candidates if we're doing our job correctly. for those of you that want to think about entering this business, in terms of a campaign as a profession, get prepared. if you're getting into this business because you believe that you want to expand second and it rides, then the big argument is taken and that all the time. there are many interest groups that promote both sides of the issue. i get involved on the public affairs side of this big debate as opposed to the campaign side because the gun issue is the number-one issue. you go up to western kansas and i will guarantee you that you will find a republican that will agree. the public decides what the issues are born to be. the candidates decide their position -- issues are going to be. one more set of tests to use in addition to this abc test in looking at your message
